    Hey guy's my auction is ending in 50 minutes and I really want to win the Xbox 360. I just gained $20 from the $190 that I bid so I have $20 more to work with.

    Any tricks on how I could win?

    what i do, is when its about to end, withing like the last 5 minutes. i bid my max. well depending on how much it is, im not gonna bid 200 if its only at like 50. but usually 10-20 dollars over the price it is.

    It's easy. Just bid higher than anyone else. Works every time! :p

    But I see you already won, so I guess you know that now. Congrats on your win.

    NEVER BID before the last minute...Don't try to guess or see where the prices is in some moment...
    Stipulate the maximum price you would give for the thing and do just one bid with that amount in the last 10 seconds...
    You'll win if you have to...

    Don't rely on snipebots. There a program which auto bids in the last couple of seconds, usually winning it for you.

    I've read stories of people who downloaded one and it turns out the bot made them put in a bid of $400 for a PC game (Fear which was going for about $40). Sometimes the bots don't bid (Which makes people who run it then go out for tea etc lose) and just... well Human > Bot.
